As an Afghan migrant who was deeply affected by 9/11, Bariz spiralled from schoolyard fights into crime and drugs - until prison made him rethink the story of his life. Years later, in Christchurch, Bariz had turned everything around when a terrorist walked into the local mosque and took the lives of 51 people in his community. Driven by a new purpose, Bariz and his wife Saba raised money to return to Afghanistan and establish 51 small businesses in honour of those they lost. In this memoir about finding self-belief, belonging and positive change, Bariz’s story reminds us that we always have the power to change ourselves for the better. ‘Bariz gifts us his truth-telling, delivered with unwavering optimism.’ Matt Brown, author of She Is Not Your Rehab ‘Bariz has been through adversity and emerged with love, care and kindness. He shows that nothing is impossible.’ Meng Foon, Race Relations Commissioner 2019- 2023 ENTER TO WIN THIS BOOK Sisterhood by Cathy Kelly Two sisters. One secret. A journey to learn who they really are… The instant Irish number one bestseller! As the waves crash on to a wild Atlantic beach, Lou is at a crossroads. For the first time ever, just giving up seems like an option. In just one night, at her own 50th birthday, her world has imploded. Her mother has kept a secret hidden all her life. And it changes everything. Before Lou can take another step, she needs to get to the bottom of the shocking truth that alters who she really is. Along with her sister, Toni, who is facing her own crisis, the two women sets out on a life-changing journey – one that will take them through Ireland’s wildest coastline and to Sicily’s sun-baked rocky shores. It will also take Lou deep into her relationships with her mother, her sister and her daughter to figure out how to stop pleasing everyone else – and carve out who she really wants to be. ‘I really, really loved it. I think it’s her best book so far, written with maturity and great compassion. The characters are very relatable, Lou was my favourite . . .

• By Dylan Smits MAJOR renovations to the Hollywood Cinema in Sumner are under way. Contractors from Bushnell Builders have torn down the front canopy facing Marriner St as part of the first stage of the makeover. “It’s been a long time coming, so it’s good to see things finally under way,” said project manager Andy Wilkinson. Built in 1938, the oldest cinema in Christchurch will become part of the high-end Silky Otter Cinemas chain. It was owned by cinema pioneer Lang Masters for more than six decades. He died, aged 92, in August last year. Masters sold the cinema to the Doig family in September 2021, who are leasing it to Silky Otter. Wilkinson said the construction part of the renovation will hopefully be complete in December with the opening date yet to be determined. “What we’re figuring out right now is how the tenant’s needs are going to integrate with that. They have to install the seating, the audiovisual equipment and the fit out of the bar.” It will be determined in the coming weeks whether Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Cinema’s new lease of life Wednesday March 13 2024 Bay Harbour News NEWS 3 City2Surf fundraises for children Latest Canterbury ne Work scheduled fo • By Dylan Smits Silky Otter can refurbish the interior at the same time as the STABILISATION work will construction work, Wilkinson start on a Redcliffs hillside in • From page 1 said. mid to late March to address Children stay for up to three Three 48-seater luxury cinemas and a bar will be created. erosion. nights every six to eight weeks The complaints of nearby when there are complications at Wilkinson said the back end residents are being addressed home, such as a family member after years of them of voicing the building will be extended, living with a physical or mental concerns about slips making on the room for an additional illness, financial hardship, domestic violence, bereavement or slope above Cave Tce. cinema to complement the previous Malcolm Fraser, who two. lives on trauma.
